Police forces around the world are being starved of financial and human
resources to fight a growing number of crimes on the internet, Interpol has
said.

Otupal, crime intelligence officer for Interpol's financial and hi-tech
crime unit, said politicians are unaware of the ways criminals are using
technology to steal money.

He said: "It's a huge problem. I think the responsible politicians are not
aware of the problem. They are not putting resources into it.
